Me? Passive Aggressive? Never!

“Dear Claudette”
Are you cat-weary? Determined to please your people? Having interpersonal problems at the dog park? Let Claudette’s years of wisdom and experience be your guide.
Q: Dear Claudette: I am a basset mix and I like to hump. I don’t care what it is, I’ll hump it. The thing is my mom doesn’t like it so much and she wants me to stop. I don’t know why I do it, so how can I stop? Emilio, Iowa City, IA
A: Dear Emilio: You sound a little passive-aggressive to me. You know your mom hates it, you pretend you can’t help yourself, and so it goes. You need a hobby. If your only interest is your own body, then pick apart and lick it incessantly. I prefer projects around the house, myself. As soon as I finish with the little piece of carpet sticking up behind the drapes, I plan to get started on the back leg of the armoire. Its shape has bothered me for like ever, and I intend to do something about it. You could also start chasing your tail, but I don’t recommend it.
